Do you think you are born with empty brain cells, or is there information from your ancestors already there?

Asked by Rangie (3664points) April 2nd, 2010

I think there is information in the brain cells of a newborn baby. How do some children know things that only an ancestor knows. Or plays a musical instrument, or can read early without training.
If the genetics are passed on to the baby, why not brain cells with information in them? I just can’t believe the brain cells of a baby are just blank.
